@GossiTheDog Sounds like a bug to me. It doesn't make sense (and seems unintentional) that top servers on "JOINmastodon.org" don't let you actually join.

Easy fix: Just drop all servers that block sign-ups or have broken sign-up from the list.

Did you file a bug report?

As a #queer man, but also as a human, I’m horrified by the attacks of a likely islamist at the side of the #CSDBerlin (#Berlin #pride).

I believe this was an attack to intimiate all #LGBTQ+ people. At least that seems the most plausible motive atm.

I REFUSE to be intimidated and will NOT stop attending #Pride events in future. Queerphobia WILL NOT win.

But I’ll keep my eyes open to see if anything weird happens … Stay safe.

#Mastodon > #WSocial.

Mastodon: 100% free software. 🎉
W Social. Isn't.👎

Mastodon: Global, as all cool Internet things should be. 🌐
W Social: Eurocentrist. 🤮

Mastodon: Does not want you to hand over your passport.
W Social: Does.😡

Mastodon: No ads for 10 years.
W Social: Already threatened to introduce ads by 2027. 😂

Why should I register on W Social again? What’s the point?

@aral @lain As a privacy-minded person, I only give my face to trusted and legal EU-based face collectors, not to the evil wicked illegal untrusted US- or China-based face collectors.

The EU has laws, unlike the US or China, which means faces may only collected for good purposes, not for evil ones.

I am a very intelligent. 🙂

@gamingonlinux This is false.

I urge all developers of #Android apps to NOT pre-emptively obey the new terms of #Google requiring you to sign up for the Android Developer Console.

It looks like Google is attempting a power grab and wants to prevent ALL installations of Android apps without official Google approval; even those installed outside Google Play.

This is an attack on both developer and user freedom and unacceptable.

@GossiTheDog Surprise of the century!!!1!1!1

#PSA: If you are documenting the #ICE operations in the #USA with #video, I am BEGGING you to NOT trust ANY US-based #SocialMedia like #YouTube. There is currently a high risk your uploads will be nuked, shadowbanned or otherwise suppressed, given the recent FISHY #TikTok aquisition.

Backup everything on international servers. Or better: Move ur stuff altogether. Use decentralized tech like #PeerTube. Do it BEFORE the banhammer strikes.

Is it possible to scroll back in time in a video on #Loops? (loops.video)

CONSPIRACY THEORY: The real reason behind forced "age verification" bullshit that more and more laws force in states around the world is that it's secretly the greatest marketing campaign for VPN corporations.

New TLDs just dropped:

🌐 .com: community (discussion board)
🌐 .org: oranges, or the color orange, or both
🌐 .net: everything about nets EXCEPT computer networks
🌐 .gov: Grand ObserVatory. Astronomy-related
🌐 .mil: Moms in Love. Lesbian-friendly place
🌐 .int: Integers. Everything about one number, for example: 25.int
🌐 .edu: Ethylene diurea (an organic compund)

Tip: If you need to look up a post on X.com and already have the link, but you HATE the website, replace X.com with "xcancel.com" in the URL.

This is a #Nitter instance, basically a frontend for X.com.

Much faster response, no forced account needed, no tracking from X.com, lighter JS, free software (AGPLv3), no corporate bullshit. Just the posts.

Remember that X.com is owned by a literal neonazi. Stay safe. And convince your friends to delete their X account. 🙂

@GossiTheDog My brain hurts …

I rewatched it multiple time and each time I found more nonsense. I found 21 inconsistencies so far.

Is this how an LSD trip feels like? 😅

It frustrates me to read in the news that several organizations have started to #trash many functioning computers just because #Windows 10 was EOLed.

WTF. You rather throw away 1000s of computers that weren’t broken and contribute to e-waste than go out of your comfort zone ONCE and learn about #FOSS operating systems?

The e-waste problem is already bad enough, don’t make it WORSE.

@GossiTheDog literally pay to win 😂

@GossiTheDog How the heck is Cisco still in business after #fail after fail after fail after fail …? 🤔

@GossiTheDog NO MEANS NO!

@nixCraft I remember #SourceForge. One day, it randomly started to force ad-infested "installers" into every software download which probably marked the beginning of its downfall.

And yes, independent FOSS infrastructure is important.

I think #Codeberg/#Forgejo is doing a great job in providing a non-commercial, free-software, no-bullshit software forge. Free software development needs free software tools. It BAFFLES me how this isn’t consensus in the #FOSS community.

@aral

This foundation makes zero sense. Claims to be for the "open future for social networks" but then has Meta a partner, has socials on X and Threads (but somehow not Mastodon (???)). Meta and X are 100% antithetical to this goal, it's all proprietary garbage. They’re enemies, not friends.

Open web, or Meta. Can’t have both.

@Mastodon Can you confirm you’re part of this foundation or is this accusation false? If it is true: When will you leave it?

Dear billion dollar IT corporations: If you think it’s a good idea to automate away #translation: NO.

Behind your back, people who speak other languages than English LAUGH at your terrible AI slop translations full of errors.

Auto-translation is simply not there yet, and anyone who claims otherwise is either delusional or a liar.
